Outdoor Worship and Blessing of the Backpacks
Let’s worship the God of all creation in God’s creation! Join us on the NORTH LAWN for an outdoor worship service.
During the service we will also be blessing our students, teachers, and school staff as they head back to school. Students, don’t forget your backpacks this day!
If you would also like to enjoy a lovely summer day together, we invite you to bring a picnic lunch and hang out after the service. Grills will be available for those who would like to use them. No food will be provided.
Finally, it takes a lot of hands to make an outdoor service like this work. If you are available to help out with setting up or tearing down chairs and tents, please reach out to Stacy.
August 10th @10am
Baptisms - August 10 @3pm
If you want to make a whole day of it, we'll be gathering at Picnic Rock to celebrate a few baptisms at 3pm on August 10th. We would love to have anybody from our church community join us for this important step in the life of these individuals and our community. If you are interested in baptism, please reach out to Bert to discuss if this might be the next step for you.

Back to Church Night - August 24 @5-630pm
All are invited to join us for a time when we will ask the question, "Why and how do kids participate in our Worship Services?" We will have breakouts for kids and adults, as well as a time together where we will talk about why coming to church matters, and why intergenerational worship is so important to the life of the church.

Do you want to become more like Jesus?
Consider joining a Huddle Group. A Huddle Group is a 9-session intensive small group experience with 5-8 others that gives significant intentional priority and energy to learn how to live more like Jesus did. They are safe but challenging places of learning that center on Scripture and how spiritual, emotional, and relational maturity are inescapably linked.
More information and registration can be found here.

Volunteer Opportunities
From the beginning of creation, God established holy rhythms of life and service for those who follow in God’s path. We each have personal seasons of rest and restoration, and of new life and service. Council Tree encourages spiritual wondering alongside the Holy Spirit to discern what spiritual season you may be in.
If you find yourself in a place where you have margin to serve, we could definitely use your gifts! If you feel God is calling you to explore serving, we would encourage you to start an exploratory conversation with a team lead to find out more.
